Once you get in the real world, promotions are not as easy to come by as they are in public accounting, so there’s that to consider.
Given the industry switch, the demotion seems reasonable, but personally I’d switch industries in audit and then bounce after a year to keep the title.
What do you want to do? Yes, it looks weird, but if you want that job, then title should not matter. Personally, the title means a lot to me.
To a smart, aware person this doesn't look bad. Often large companies have lower-level job titles for roles that would have a higher-level job title at a smaller company. A lot of people are dumb though. W/out knowing more, it sounds like a good move to me.
I was thinking of something along those lines as well. I’m in NFP audit so no commercial clients or firms will take me. This large software company would be a good pivot just at a lower title.
If you are concerned about title it may be an issue. However, there is so much variance the title doesn't really equate, I recently took a position with a lower title but was very lateral. It was a much better fit for me and that is what mattered.
Titles should show progression upwards. Too many bots and people biasing when looking at your resume for 7 seconds.
there aren’t really “upward” exit ops into the nonprofit space. and there’s gonna be a bit of a re-learning curve since nonprofit accounting has a sufficient number of unique quirks that you’ve been focused on for a few years. so this seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Negotiate the title to senior accountant instead of salary or sign on bonus. Do not accept the title accountant 2. You need the title to job hop in future. Why to job hop? You may not want to do the same task for 40th month close. You might need to move internally or externally to learn new skills
